Page 10 The Southern Israelite Here’s Proof Georgia farming IS PROFITABLE G EORGIA farms are getting on a * business basis — keeping careful records and making money. That is the one fact that stands out in bold relief from figures just announced by the Georgia State College of Agricul ture—announcing prize winners in the 1930 Georgia Power Company Profitable Farming Contest, which was conducted under the supervision of the College. The idea behind this contest was to encourage business management on the farm and to bring to light actual provable examples of money-making Georgia farms. Profitable, well-rounded manage ment—with all farms, large and small, on an equal footing—was the final acid test in making all awards. Each contestant was judged by these six factors: (1) Interest on investment; (2) Crop Yields, as compared with the state aver age; (3) Diversity of profitable products; (4) Labor Distribution — days of pro ductive and non-productive labor in the year; (5) Income Distribution — regu larity of farm receipts throughout the year, and (6) Reserve — cash set aside, or its equivalent in feed and supplies, as an operating reserve. Careful, day-by-day book-keeping was required. Each successful contestant made a detailed inventory at the begin ning of the contest; another at its conclu sion. He kept a daily record of his ex penditures, his receipts, distribution and cost of labor, improvements—everything that came in and went out in the man agement of his farm. These farmers knew what they were doing every day in the year. Their records were such that—like any other well-regulated business—they could at any time show their bankers definite, provable financial statements. Winning Contestants $400 W. W. Seaton, Dalton, Whitfield County Northwest Division, State Grand Prize $200 J. R. Eubanks, Madison, Morgan County, Northeast Division $200 George T. Deriso, Americas, Sumter County, Southwest Division. $200 W. A. Akins, Statesboro, Bulloch County, Southeast Division. Concerning the winning entrants, State College officials found the following interesting facts: During the contest, all made a sub stantial salary for themselves—over and above a return of 6% on their fixed investment, plus an 8% return on their working capital—cash, farm machinery, live stock and other operating necessities. These salaries—over all expenses— ranged from $1,500 to $5,600, depending on the size of the farm. All owned their own farms. All were small farms, from 105 to 400 acres. All owned live stock, ranging in value from $1,000 to $3,100. All sold live stock prod ucts. All had cash crops for sale. All had good yields compared to the state aver age. All had good labor and income dis tribution. All had good reserves to tide them over into this year. In every case there was an increase in inventory during the year—ranging from $658 to $2,916. Every contestant followed the live- at-home plan of farming. The Contest ill Be Repeated In 1951 Because of our sincere desire to help build up agriculture throughout the state, the contest will be continued in 1931, with awards totaling $1,000. Counties designated by the State College to participate in the 1931 contest are, by geographical divisions: NORTHEAST: Clarke, Franklin, Hart, Madison, Morgan, Walton.

A CITIZEN Georgia POWER WHEREVER COMPANY WE SERVE ADOLF HITLER “EXPLAINS” (Continued from page 4) '‘Do you, then, consider pacifism a Jewish quality or defect specifically?” “I am a pacifist myself”, was the surprising rejoinder of the man who seven years ago tried to capture the governmental reins of Bavaria by means of a military putsch. “By pacif ism I”—he stressed the “I” in dramatic fashion—“Understand the maintenance of peace as long as one’s national honor is unsoilcd. The Jewish view of peace, because of the international Jewish mind, means the surrender of all pride for the sake of financial interests.” “Sometimes the anti-Semites accuse the Jews of militarism”, I remarked, “and sometimes they charge them with noxious pacifism; at other times the Jews are accused as destroyers of all law and order, while only the other day Count Salin, the uncle of your Austrian colleague Prince Starhemberg, called anti-Semitism a revolutionary movement because Jews always support the conservative property-loving classes of their country. How do you reconcile all this?” By that time it appeared that Adolf Hitler was becoming annoyed at the persistent questioning. It seemed to dawn upon him that this interlocutor, notwithstanding his blond hair and blue eyes, must be a Jew. With a careful gesture the German Mussolini reas sured himself that the immaculate part in his hair had not been disturbed. He rose and, adopting his favorite plat form position—firmly taking hold of the edge of the table with both hands —spoke slowly: “I do not have to go into details. My views are known. I am the only German leader who is not afraid to speak out. I am concerned with the Jews only in so far as they obstruct the realization of the ideal German Reich. But I will countenance no mob action, even against Jews. I never did. We have been made the scrapegoat for the undisciplined mob action of the Communists. Jews have nothing to fear from us as long as they do not mix with us. This they must learn—and I think they are learn ing very fast since the last elections. As long as the Jews here will not try to pose as Germans and have the temerity to speak for Germans they will be unmolested. That is all I have to say on the subject.” The leader of the second largest parlimentary party in Germany, whose name has become synonymous with anti-Semitism throughout Central Europe, drew himself up, bowed slight ly and strode out to rejoin his com panions. As he approached his party rose and a youngster in a brown shirt with sleeve adorned with the swastika streched out his arm in the traditional Fascist salute. Copyright 1931 by S. A. F. S.
